SD card corrupt?

[clockcycle]

Been using a Kingston 2gb micro sd in my touch since I got it, was the same card I used with an adapter on my 6700 and treo.. ( on and off ). Without a problem, it still works. No files or folders lost.

Got a new sandisk 8gb micro sdhc. Copied off some items from the 2gb to the phone and copied those files back to the 8gb just fine. Memory app on the phone reported just over 7.5gb left on the storage card.

Took it out and put it into a micro sdhc card reader to xfer some more files. At about 2gb of data the card got an error. I tried again and again and still same error.

Took it out put it back into my phone, loaded wm5storage. Plugged in the phone via usb, loaded the computer management disk management and reformatted the card fat32. It completed.

Took the card out, and back into the reader to xfer files.. PC doesn't see it, put it back in the touch, nope doesn't see it..

Now I can't see it thru PC nor Touch. WM5Storage, disk management, no media.. insert media..

All my other 512, 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, cards I do this all the time still work.. Never a problem switching between devices, cameras, phones, Pc..

Returning the 8gb for an exchange. But I am hoping for an answer

thanks,

P.S. File corruption due to removing a disk while it has open files or files being written to it I can understand. I think that is why Windows has that "quick removal" setting. I've not messed with caches, so I assume the defaults on the Touch would protect the card.. Unless for performance sake they tweaked this considering we'd probably not or never or at least hardly ever remove the card due to it's difficulty..

P.S.S. Haven't tried this but was interesting http://www.cardrecovery.com/?rid=google&kid=cr3101 might be useful for those that have corrupt cards and need the data off them.

P.S.S.S. Does this fix work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305531

For me - yes, it has been the only thing that has fixed the issue. I've been running clean for 5 days since installing this driver. I even reloaded Resco Explorer and S2U2 which I'd been convinced were somehow triggering the corruption for me.

Prior to this fix I couldn't go 1 day without some form of SD corruption showing up.

There's clearly something wrong with the SD card driver HTC included in the Touch.

Didn't work for me. Card got corrupted the same day I installed the Artemis driver (and soft reset). Other people seem to be having better luck...

Not surprising. I did a little analysis, and the .dll that this cab installs (omap850_sdhc.dll) is not found in our Windows directory, and thus is not part of the Vogue ROM. Nor is it referenced by our SD card registry entry that identifies the SD card driver: HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\SDHC\Dll = sdhc.dll

A brave soul might install this .dll and change the registry entry to point to it, soft reset and see if they can still access their SD card...

Now there's an entrepeneuring spirit. Who's gonna give it a go? Who knows if it will even function, but as long as you back up your data I don't think you could possibly do any serious harm.

If I can toss another possibility into the mix....

I have Spb Pocket Plus installed and I was using the Indicators it included to show me the amount of free space on my SD card. I seemed to get constant corruptions...At first I thought it as phoneAlarm accessing hte SD card for the skins...so I uninstalled it and went to SBSH Phone Weaver...still got corrupt card problems every couple hours....

I then stopped using the Indicators from spb Pocket Plus and have not had any corrupt card problems for the last 10 hours....I will post more after a day or so...

God damn curse this technology! My card corrupted again! This time I noticed a pattern, ir currupts when its writting data on itmand you push the sleep button. It does not happen all the time but chances are greater.

I just made the registry change and soft reset. My device didn't lock up but the storage card didnt show up in resco explorer so I had to change it back.
